You might have to bite the bullet and use the chart DOM - it's the only way I found to quickly send an order at a specific price with 1 click. It's not the same as hitting a button, and you need a good mouse and good mouse skills, but it works. You just need to add the chart DOM Buy & Sell columns to your chart. Keep the crosshair tool active (so the horizontal position remains visible) and position the cursor in the BUY or SELL column as the candle is getting ready to close. Then just clicking the button sends the order at the price you want - and you can configure it to send a limit or stop-limit or whatever you want really. Just make sure to un-check "reject orders that will immediately fill". You have to tinker with the settings but you should be able to do what you want. Maybe keep one chart open for perspective, but enter your orders on a different one so the scale is manageable. The other technique you can use is to have a working order active on the chart away from the current price, then just drag & drop it where you want when you want. This also will require a more stretched out chart scale so you can see what you're doing, but I don't think that's avoidable for what you're trying to do. |
